Zi Yan turned her face away and looked somewhere, but the corner of her eyes still couldn't help but stare at Rong Changan's feet.
"Joke, why am I nervous! When Mount Tai collapses, I won't change my face!"
Pooh!
Rong Changan covered her nose and smiled, her smile made Zi Yan very embarrassed.
"What are you laughing at! You have..." Zi Yan wanted to scold Rong Changan for something wrong, but after thinking about it, the current Rong Changan is the newly conferred queen, so she can't scold her.
"You don't change your face now. Next, I will let you change your color." Rong Changan looked down on the terracotta brick, "If I guess correctly, the evidence is under this brick."
Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat: Rong Chang'an is really not easy to be fooled, and he can find something strange about Brick.
"Are you kidding? How is the evidence under the bricks?"
"If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Rong Changan turned to Yulin Jun and said, "Take this water-milled brick away!"
"yes!"
A Royal Forest Army removed the water-milled bricks under Rong Changan's feet, exposing the soft soil.
"Where's the evidence?" Zi Yan mocked.
Rong Changan believed that the evidence was underground: "Dig it down for me!"
The two imperial guards took shovels and dug under the water-milled bricks.
As the digging got deeper and there was nothing to be seen, the arc of Zi Yan's mouth became more and more upward.
"Queen Rong, where is your so-called evidence?" Zi Yan asked with a smile.
I have dug down very deep, but still nothing. How did that happen? According to Rong Changan's speculation, there should be something under the terrazzo bricks, otherwise the terrazzo bricks would not loosen, and the ground under the bricks would not be so soft.
Rong Chang'an looked at Zi Yan sharply, Zi Yan's expression changed from nervous to proud, the trace on the corner of her mouth really made Rong Chang'an feel sick.
Rong Changan probably understood what was going on. Just like the maid who knew the inside story was killed, the evidence under the water-milled bricks has been transferred by Ziyan. This delicate woman is really difficult to deal with.
Zi Yan smiled: "It's what I said when I came in just now, queen, what are you looking for? Dig a hole and plant a tree?"
Regarding Zi Yan's ridicule, Rong Chang'an sneered: "Zi Yan, I want to give you a warning. Anyone in the world who uses magic to harm others will definitely be hurt by magic."
"Witchcraft?" Zi Yan looked innocent, "I can't understand what the Queen said more and more! Who is using witchcraft here?"
Rong Changan did not intend to show Zi Yan the note he found just now, with this note, Rong Changan was able to guess what Zi Yan had done to her.
Rong Changan stood beside Ziyan and leaned close to Ziyan's ear: "It is said that you read a lot of books in the attic. Of course, I don't know whether it is you who are reading or the books are reading you. You have heard of Queen Wei of the Western Han Dynasty and Is it the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
Zi Yan turned her face away: "I don't listen to historical stories."
"Then I'll tell you!" Rong Changan said with a smile, "Empress Wei carved a puppet and engraved the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che on the puppet to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found out later and sent Empress Wei , Prince Wei and others, all of them will be killed. That’s why I said that those who use magic to harm others will eventually be harmed by magic.”
Zi Yan snorted: "I don't know what you're talking about at all! I don't have time to watch you do meaningless things here. If one day you find what you're looking for, please let me know."
Rong Changan stared at Zi Yan with sharp eyes: "Don't worry, when I find what I'm looking for, I will not only tell you, but also make you get the punishment you deserve."
"Then I'll be looking forward to it!" Zi Yan yelled at Liu'er viciously, "Let's go!"
When their master and servant walked to the door, Rong Changan clapped his hands behind and said loudly: "Actually, I have found the evidence!"
Zi Yan's body trembled violently, looking back, Rong Changan was shaking a small note in his hand.
"what is that?"
Rong Changan shook, and put the note back into his sleeve: "One day, I will tell you. This day will not be too long!"
Zi Yan's face was terrified and angry, her pink face was flushed red, she waved her sleeves, snorted, and quickly disappeared at the door.
"Queen, what did you mean when you said that the evidence was under the water-milled bricks and asked the Imperial Forest Army to dig a hole?" Chuntao asked.
Rong Changan said seriously: "Do you know witchcraft?"
Chuntao shook her head.
"Witchcraft is a remnant of primitive shamanism. People are carved out of wood, and the name of the person to be cursed is affixed to the puppet. Saying a few spells can achieve the purpose of harming people."
Chuntao was horrified when she heard this: "Can this really harm people?"
Rong Chang'an said: "To achieve the purpose of being able to harm people, it must be consecrated by the witch and fairy. Therefore, as long as we find that witch and fairy, we will have someone to prove it."
"But where can I find witches and fairies?"
Rong Changan also fell into confusion: "According to the current situation, there is no other good way except to search the whole capital. Fortunately, there are not many people in this profession in the capital, because witches Gu is very harmful to yin and virtue."
Chuntao's eyes lit up: "Since there are not many people engaged in witches and fairies, why don't we hurry to find them?"
"It's best not to say anything about this matter, so I decided to find it myself."
"What!" Chuntao yelled, "How can you find such a big capital by yourself?"
Rong Changan smiled: "What I mean by searching is naturally not aimlessly looking for one place after another. The witches and fairies in the whole city are all connected. As long as I find one of them, I will know the other witches and fairies. .Among witches and fairies, there are only a few who know how to practice witchcraft, and I can figure it out as soon as I ask."
Rong Chang settled down, and then said, "Chuntao, you are going out of the palace now, and help me find a witch, and ask her to write down the list addresses of all the witches and fairies she knows in the capital on a piece of paper, and mark where they will be. A witch. Then, you give me the list."
So Chuntao set off immediately and found a witch outside the palace. According to Rong Chang'an's request, the witch wrote down the names and addresses of those who knew witchcraft. Fortunately, there are only two witches who know witchcraft in the whole capital!
One is Liu Xiangu, who lives in Zhugan Lane; the other is Wang Pozi, who lives in Killing Pig Alley. In addition to fortune-telling and divination, the two of them usually do witches and Gu, and even raise Gu insects.
After getting the addresses of the two, that night, Rong Changan put on night clothes, beat around the bush, and came to Zhugan Lane. Liu Xiangu's house is very big and luxuriously decorated, Rong Changan knew it was ill-gotten gains when he thought about it.
Rong Changan broke into Liu Xiangu's room directly, while she was carving a puppet.
"Who are you?" Seeing Rong Changan intruding, Liu Xiangu was so frightened that she fell on the bed, and the puppet in her hand fell to the ground.
Rong Changan drew out the soft sword and laid it across Liu Xiangu's neck. Liu Xiangu's sweat dripped on the sword, making a clanking sound.
"If you want to survive, just tell me the truth." Rong Changan said.
